Banksticks
Hi gents,
my new banksticks are finally ready . I've been tinkering with it for a year... and now I'm looking forward to using it on the water soon. My dear mother-in-law made the sheath especially for these batons from heavy brown fabric. Great, I can't do that. Many thanks again at this point . I didn't have any split cane left for the banksticks, so I used oak sticks. I made the brass parts on my lathe and a bender. For the wraps I used Prowrap yarn with a few coats of boat varnish. Oh yes, to protect the rod I put silicone hoses on the rod holders.
Best regards
Markus

Re: Banksticks
You are an artist. They are beautiful.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.
